Who are Share Navigator?

Share Navigator are based in Dublin City University (DCU) Ireland and focus on teaching people how to trade stocks and options in a real-time, real-world, risk-free simulated trading environment. We focus heavily in the art of risk measurement and risk management.

How do I register?

Can I get a FREE TRIAL?

I would like to start a trading competition with my friends/colleagues. Can you help me?

Yes we have run trading competitions for large companies such as Bank of Ireland, small investment clubs and groups. This is a great way to promote your business or simply have a bit of fun with some friends.

This is how it works:

We setup a dedicated web page for your competition with registration facilities. We can brand the webpage for you (if required).

We provide each member with a ‘simulated trading’ account with real-time pricing funded with $1,000,000 of virtual capital.

Do I get a personal simulated trading account?

Yes. Every ‘subscribing’ member gets a simulated trading account. This allows you to practice in a real-time, real-world, risk-free environment. You can build investment portfolios and track their daily performance. The platform is similar to those used by professional traders.

Note: If you take a Free trial you will only have ‘generic’ access to a trading account.

What’s the difference between Options and Stocks

When you invest in a company you buy the shares of the company on an exchange and take a small ownership of that company. When you own shares you are entitled to vote, receive dividends and sell those shares if you wish. People who invest in stocks are generally happy to build a portfolio over time and benefit when the company continuously increases their profits.
Membership to Share Navigator allows you to:

Learn how to find quality stocks at the right price – online courses available 24/7

Stock Alerts direct to your phone – you will see what stocks we buy, what prices we buy them at and what price we intend selling them at

Options derive their value from stocks and trade like stocks on exchanges. Options give investors ‘Rights’ to buy or sell shares at some date in the future at agreed prices. Prices on options are a fraction of what it costs to buy or sell shares. Options offer investors flexible ways of reducing risk in their portfolio. Options can also be used for leverage (not recommended). At Share Navigator we use options to reduce risk and increase our chances of making a profit. Most of our option trades have at least an 80% chance of making a profit!

I am a third level student, is there a special rate for students?

Do you provide financial advice?

No. We are educators. We do share our trades with our membership. This is for educational purposes only and does not constitute advice. The purpose of sharing our trades is to show you the step by step selection process that we use to pick investments.
